Interesting. It seems vaguely sci-fi esque (I rarely pay attention to genres, so I don't know if you labeled it as that and I am now far too lazy to look it up now), but, aside from not really being a sci-fi or having any plot related to such...it was there. And I like that. I like being able to see hints of a world without it necessarly being the driving force of the story.

I also like the fact that the characters don't seem to realize the universe is different from ours, because that is simply /key/.

Out of this story, the most intriguing thing that I can't stop wondering is... What exactly is this green... Stuff? On thr Zelniks? Is it like a symbiotic entity living within their bodies/on their skin?

Haha I also like that Hayal had it all wrong and the story had a happy ending. :)
